Chapter 7.) 200 Player Battle Royale Part 2.

"Aren't you a Mage, why would you want to fight me in close-quarter combat?" Asked Misery

"A Mage, why would you think that? Hahaha" Inorin questioned jokingly

Since Inorin was laughing Misery could tell he already knew the reason. So he just didn't respond, instead he got in his fighting stance preparing for battle.

"Enhance" whispered Inorin

In doing so his battle instincts from the previous Striker ability he stole kicked in. Enhancing that switched him from being simply a Striker to a Butsuri Master.

'Left hand forward, right hand back, huh. Ok I'll do the same'

When Inorin got in his stance, Misery quickly rushed him, while still maintaining his original stance.

*Precognition*

A mirage version of Misery popped up showing that he would attack with a right sweep kick into a left hook.

Two seconds later Misery did exactly that. Inorin simply dodged the kick by jumping over it, then blocked the left hook with his outer right arm and grabbed his forearm with his left hand.

Once he finally landed on the ground, he turned around, pulled Misery's arm over his shoulder, and slammed him to the ground.

"Woah, Inorin is crazy strong in close combat but I suspected this was the case." Announced Yuri

After saying this, Yūki came out of the woods to get a better understanding of the situation.

Koeda watched from a distance believing another team would come to third party. Since 3 members of the team had their location revealed.

"How can he do high tier magic and also be well versed in Striker combat!?" Yuki questioned having a hard time wrapping it around her head.

"It's not just Striker classes. He is also extremely talented with the Berserker class, he dual wields twin axes." Yuri added

"How is that even possible!? Dual axes would place him in the Blade Master Berserker class." Yūki continued

Koeda knew the answer all along but if Inorin didn't tell them then neither would she.

Back in the fight, Misery's HP had dropped drastically down to under 25% but whenever this happens a Slayer gets an attack buff.

He quickly got up, angry while extremely battered, and once again charged at Inorin.

'He's fighting full of fury, if he can't control it then his judgement will be clouded and he will swing at random. He'll just leave a bunch of openings for mii to attack. I don't even need to use my precognition.'

Misery threw a flurry of punches wildly but didn't hit a single one. Inorin simply side-stepped or blocked with his forearm.

He pointed out 6 openings from Misery only throwing 8 punches and one elbow, but he decided not to take them.

Once Misery finally mixed things up and threw a kick, Inorin switched to offense.

Misery launched a left kick straight for Inorin's chin, so he side-stepped to the right while pushing his foot into Misery's right ankle.

In turn, Misery tripped and fell while trying to land from his kick.

"See you later new friend." Inorin said sincerely

He walked away and signaled Yuri to finish him. When Yuri got close to Inorin he whispered,

"Why'd you play with him?"

Inorin shrugged and kept walking.

'The kid actually had potential, I was just testing him to see if he had known how to force level up his skills with his emotions. The more mad he gets, the stronger he gets. That is if he could control it.' Inorin thought to himself

Once he got to Yuki, he turned around to watch Yuri.

'I wonder how he's going to finish him.'

"Hey, how are you that strong? I looked up your stats but nothing would show." Yūki asked looking him dead in the face.

*Precognition*

The mirage of Yuri had him doing a double axe hand down strike to Misery's stomach. But the mirage also showed something else.

"Inorin are you even listening?" Yūki questioned

"An arrow?" Inorin cut her off to say

"Arrow? What arrow?"

•Ping•

The precognition field of view detected a arrow come into it's barrier. Inorin's head shot to top left making Yūki look as well.

Inorin's mind went completely blank, he saw where the arrow would land but didn't know how to stop it in time.

"The shooters at the top of the 1st building in the Industrial District!" Yūki yelled pointing in the direction.

Before the arrow even landed, Koeda and Inorin started charging in that direction. Koeda never left the trees, she was trailing over Inorin, who was running straight down the street.

He looked back and saw the arrow had instilled itself in Misery's head.

"Sorry kid, hey, let's go get them!" He screamed

Yuri and Yūki started moving to try and catch up. But Yuri wasn't fast because his agility was low due to him being a Hell Bringer Berserker. Requiring blood to get faster and stronger.

"Hey Yuri come here!" Said Yūki

*Dimensional Shift*

'Ahh, now that's a skill that I've been waiting on, If I max that I may be able to go any where on the map. But I would much rather have a Flash Step type of skill.' Inorin said to himself

*Duplicate*

"Alright! We all made it to the Industrial District" Yuri said proudly

"Let's split up, and Yuri since that archer stole your kill you go get him. Yūki you go with him, and Koeda and I will go the long way to find their teammates." Inorin instructed

"Ok cool, we will meet you guys up there." Yūki agreed

*Dimensional Shift*

They vanished, so Inorin and Koeda went in the front double doors and headed for the stairs.

"Hey Rin, I know you stole her teleport skill, so why are we still taking the long way?" Koeda asked

"Oh so you finally speak, you were so talkative when we first met. What changed?" Inorin interrogated

"I got a bad feeling from Yūki, a very deceitful feeling." She answered

"I see, but let's not worry about that for now, let's just get our kills so we can pass." He added

Koeda nodded then Inorin used his Dimensional Rift, the level 3 version of shift, to get them to the top floor just under the roof.

'We'll walk from here so nobody see's us.' Inorin said switching to a isolated chat of just him and Koeda.

When they reached the door to the roof it was cracked open slightly.

'Look out, a trip mine!' Koeda said to Inorin

They jumped back as she tossed a kunai at it making it explode. Then they ran in, covering themselves with the smoke from the explosion.

•Ching•

They heard the clashing of weapons and knew it was Yūki and Yuri in a fight.

•Bam•

'Switch to party chat Koeda' Inorin instructed

'Hey, how many enemies are there?' He questioned

'There's only 3.' Yuri replied

'Alright we got your back, let's go for a pincher attack.' Inorin said
